Liberals and the left are just as prone to fantasy rhetoric...just different fantasies. Libertarianism = "My Little Pony Starring John Galt"

Sure but they tend to preferentially use one of the 3. Libs for e.g. save fables for ingroup because they know non-libs laugh at Ayn Rand

Libertarians are the least logical of the three + they have terrible stories.
